Personal Finance - Where To Start

There’s such a lot of information on personal finance out
there; some good, some less so. But don’t allow yourself to be overwhelmed. You’ve
got to start somewhere. And starting with yourself is as good a place as any.

Spend enough
time to know yourself that you find a formula that works for you - i.e. that
allows you to not obsess over money, fear its loss, or take risks you cannot
tolerate. Look at how your own mind
works, and let money flow to those aspects that make your life more dynamic and
creative.

So look at today as your start line. It doesn't matter
what you have done so far in your life, it doesn't matter whether you have a
professional qualification or how you look. It also doesn't matter what the
markets are doing, nor what everyone else is doing. It’s about you taking
control of your actions, applying the right structure, attitude and behavior to
take your financial story forward. As long as you are prepared to put the time
and energy into improving your condition, whether you do that by yourself or via financial coaching, you can do ok.

About Me

Are you looking for a bit of guidance in your life and your finances? Not too fluffy in relation to discussions on life and not too heavy on discussions on finance?
That's what I'm here for.
By career, I'm a finance man, having worked in the industry across a few countries over the last decade and a half, while also gaining a Master of Finance. I also run a financial coaching business.
Separately, I've also studied personal development, and am trained in corporate and life coaching.
This blog is partly musings about finance, but also it's about life in general.
